TNGF
SELECTED
General Winfield Scott Hancock
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 30s with a strong, square jaw and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed beneath his officer's hat, and his posture exudes authority. A well-groomed mustache frames his determined mouth.
Union Sergeant
secondary
A battle-hardened non-commissioned officer in his mid-30s, with a wiry but strong build. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His eyes are sharp and alert, reflecting his experience on the battlefield.
Union Private
secondary
A young man in his late teens or early twenties, with a lean but wiry build from months of marching and fighting. His face is smudged with dirt and gunpowder, and his hands tremble slightly as he loads his rifle. His eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination, and his jaw is clenched tightly.
Confederate Soldier
background
A young Confederate soldier, likely in his early 20s, with a lean but wiry build from months of campaigning. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and his eyes are wide with a mix of determination and fear. His uniform is tattered, and his boots are worn, showing the harsh conditions of the march to Gettysburg.
